Default Corvette Rear

I kinda had a crazy idea. Has anyone ever converted the rear end to look like a Corvettes? I mean taking a TA or Camaro and having the Late 90's Corvette rear look. I think it would look wild. If anyone has done this I would love to see pics.

Its a nice concept I guess. It would have to be on a camaro though since it would follow the lines well. It wouldnt work on a trans am since they're too curvy

Probably the closest you'll get to see to that





Done by Whistler in case you're wondering.

I really like the look of that Camaro. I'm wondering how something like that would look on my TA. I'm not a huge fan of the look of my stock rear. To me it looks like they took the Sunfire rear and stuck it on. Just looking for something a little different. I don't know if I'll ever attempt the Corvette look just for the fact that its a lot of work and no guarantee that it will look good. Thanks for the pic and your guys opinion.

that reminds me of a 1970/71 camaro with those lights and spoiler. i think with those tail lights that panel would look better the same color as the body. is that kit for sale?? no reverse lights i noticed tho lol

I once saw pics of a yellow 94-98 mustang GT vert with an 05 Mustang front clip and a C5 corvette rear. talk about a car with an identity crisis. it could best be described as
